    Republicans 2 seats away from holding majority, giving Trump leeway to implement agenda


    Control of the House of Representatives remains undecided, with Republicans sitting just two seats away from a majority as of Wednesday morning.

    The Associated Press has yet to call 12 House races across the country. In one of those 12 races, California’s 47th Congressional District, Republican candidate Scott Baugh has conceded in the open race against Democrat Dave Min.

    Alaska

    At-Large District

    Democratic incumbent Rep. Mary Sattler Peltola is in a tight race in Alaska’s at-large congressional district, where she is trailing Republican entrepreneur Nick Begich.

    As of Wednesday morning, Begich holds a three-point lead at 49.1% of the vote compared to Peltola’s 45.8%. The vote count sits at 142,023 to 132,473 with roughly 91% of the vote counted.

    The race in Arizona’s 6th Congressional District is tight, with Republican incumbent Rep. Juan Ciscomani holding a narrow lead.

    Democratic incumbent Josh Harder leads Republican challenger Kevin Lincoln by four points.

    While Harder asserted victory in the race on Tuesday evening, Lincoln has not conceded, and The Associated Press has not called the race.

    The district had about 74% of the vote recorded as of Wednesday, and Harder’s lead sits at over 7,000 votes.

    13th Congressional District

    Republican Rep. John Duarte is leading former Democratic State Assembly member Adam Gray in California’s 13th.

    Roughly 70% of the vote has been counted, and Duarte holds a 51% to 49% lead. The contest is separated by just over 3,000 votes as of Wednesday morning.

    21st Congressional District

    Incumbent Democratic Rep. John Costa leads his Republican challenger, Michael Maher, in a 51.7 % to 48.3% race as of Wednesday morning.

    Republican Scott Baugh, a former state assembly member, conceded the race to Democratic state Sen. Dave Min in the race to succeed outgoing Democratic Rep. Katie Porter in California’s 47th Congressional District.

    Min holds a one-point lead, with nearly 86% of the vote counted. The race was rated Lean Democrat by the Fox News Power Rankings.

    With Min’s lead at nearly 6,000 votes, The Associated Press has yet to call the result.
